HOW TO TRANSFER YOUR CHILD'S RECORDS

If a middle school student is moving to another school or applying for summer school, please follow these guidelines when transfer of records or letters of recommendation are needed.

TRANSFER OF RECORDS

The transfer of records is managed via the middle school counseling office. Please complete the form below to help us manage what information is shared with schools you have applied to. In order to protect your personal information we will not release information to schools until you have completed this form. Access to the form requires logging in to the SAS web portal and finding it on the middle school front page under "Middle School Forms." The counseling secretaries or grade level counselor can assist you in the process.

LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION

When applying to a new school, that school will often require letters of recommendation from the current school. If a school is requesting letters of recommendation via an online platform, please input the teacher’s email address directly. To facilitate self-advocacy skills and ownership of the process, it is best if your child speaks to teachers and counselors ahead of time to let them know that a recommendation will be requested and ask if they will have time to complete it. Of course, our teachers are happy to complete these for our students, but it is good practice for students to ask. As parents, please also notify the counseling office (mscounseling@sas.edu.sg) and email a personal request/connection with the teachers who will be writing the letters of recommendation.

Please limit your requests to four school specific recommendations per student. If you are applying to more than four schools, the middle school has its own outgoing SAS recommendation forms, this form provides the necessary information needed and is based on multiple forms used by schools around the world. The SAS form allows our teachers to write one thoughtful recommendation per student and continue to dedicate time to planning and teaching dynamic lessons. Our counseling office will keep the recommendation on file in case the application to additional schools if required.

Teachers will do their best to complete letters of reference within 10 days of receiving the form.
